The setting sun paints a Scarlet Oak tree on the White House South Lawn in the rich colors of the 2006 fall season. White House visitors peek over the Rose Garden's Boxwood Hedge at the bright purple Salvia, orange and yellow Chrysanthemums and Osmanthus Holly during the White House Fall Garden and Grounds Tour Oct. 28, 2006.
Barney frolics just outside the Oval Office with his favorite ball among the fallen leaves of the Saucer Magnolia tree in the Rose Garden. President George W. Bush departs the autumnal hues of the Rose Garden aboard Marine One Oct. 30, 2006.
Mums the word when a Marine stands post outside the West Wing lobby near a bed of Chrysanthemums. As visitors tour the White House South Lawn, a quiet corner just off the Truman Balcony offers a reflective view of a perfect fall day.
Signaling the fast approaching Autumnal Equinox, a blue sky is crowded with thick clouds as a brisk North wind ripples through the American flag flying over the White House. The fall colors of a Maple tree on the White House North Lawn glow in the light from the White House Press Corps as short days give way to the season's long shadows.
